————————————————-
I hear you, but what people who enjoy watching Chad be Chad keep forgetting is that it’s not about Chad. It’s about winning football games. The Bengals let Chad be Chad and how many Lombardis are in their trophy room? Oh, there’s a lot of footage of a guy fake-proposing to cheerleaders, prancing around in fake HoF jackets, mouthing off to and about opponents and his own coaches, throwing fellow NFLPA members under the bus while he kisses Goodell’s backside. But how many titles are there?

What’s sad is that Ross is more interested in generating publicity than winning games. That’s why he slapped his own players and fans in the face last season with a day celebrating the opposing QB. And that’s why he’s hiring #85. I shudder to think what antics Chad Unleashed will get up to after a year of being forced to act like an actual team member–a year that saw his team win a conference championship without any mouthing off from him.

Nowadays Chad is strictly a possession receiver. He was never particularly fast, certainly not Mike Wallace fast, and now with age he’s slowed down even more. He won’t be an impact player with the Fins.

———————————————-
Never particularly fast? Chad relied on his speed and agility. That is what made him a top receiver for so many years. You are judging him on his one year in NE. Do your homework.

Chad will have a decent year. With a new coach in Miami, everyone will be learning the playbook at the same time and shouldn’t be as difficult as NE’s playbook. Late round fantasy pick?? I think so!

The problem is one the ink is dryed, his tryout performance and on field performance tend to differ a lot.

The only thing that would top this off is if Ocho has a big season and tops it off with a 15 catch game against the pats.
———————————————————-
This sentiment has popped up throughout these comments, and makes one wonder; what exactly did the Patriots do to Chad Johnson to deserve this attitude, other than pay the man millions of dollars that no one else was willing to give him, and give him a full year to do what every player in the NFL is expected to do; learn a playbook?

Those horrible, horrible Patriots, paying a man millions of dollars and then expecting him to catch more than one pass a game.

Always been a “just above average” receiver, that happened to be entertaining. Now that the antics have died down, this is what your left with. Just above average. Maybe not even that anymore.
————–
Chad led his conference in receiving a record 4 straight seasons. Even Jerry Rice didn’t do that. Maybe you should re-examine his career. Chad will have a decent season for Miami. He just wasn’t a good fit in NE. He’s not what he was in his prime, but he still has something left.

An full offseason usually helps when you join a new team. Btw…. You must be joking bout revis jets fan, ask moss, Marshall and Stevie how afraid they are of him. He’s just 1 guy anyway.
